Psalms 16:10
me <05315> [my.]
Sheol <07585> [hell.]
The word hell, from the Saxon {hillan} or {helan,} to hide, or from {holl,}, a cavern, though now used only for the place of torment, anciently denoted the concealed or unseen place of the dead in general; corresponding to the Greek [adev,] i.e., [o aidev topos,] the invisible place and the Hebrew {sheol,} from {shaal,} to ask, seek, the place and state of those who are out of the way, and to be sought for.
allow <05414> [neither.]
faithful follower <02623> [thine.]
Psalms 40:2

watery pit <0953 07588> [horrible pit. Heb. pit of noise.]
slimy <03121> [the miry.]
placed <06965> [set.]

Psalms 86:13
great <01419> [great.]
deliver <05337> [and thou.]
Sheol <07585> [hell. or, grave.]
Isaiah 38:17
grief ... experienced ..... benefit <04751 07965> [for peace I had great bitterness. or, on my peace came great bitterness.]
delivered me .... pit <05315 07845 02836> [in love to my soul delivered it from the pit. Heb. loved my soul from the pit.]
removed <07993> [thou hast cast.]
Ezekiel 37:12-13
prophesy <05012> [Therefore.]
open <06605> [I will open.]
This is a pointed allusion to the resurrection; under which figure Isaiah (ch. 26:9) also describes the restoration of the house of Israel, when he says, "thy dead men shall live;" at which time their bones are said to flourish, (ch. 66:14,) or to be restored to their former strength and vigour; and, in like manner, St. Paul, (Ro 11:15,) expresses their conversion by "life from the dead." In the land of their captivity, they seemed as absolutely deprived of their country as persons committed to the grave are cut off from the land of the living; but when Cyrus issued his proclamation, Jehovah, as it were, opened their graves, and when he stirred up their spirits to embrace the proffered liberty, he put his Spirit within them, that they might live; and their re-establishment in their own land evinced the truth of God in the prediction, and his power in its accomplishment.
bring <0935> [and bring.]
